<h1>Searching by object type, creation date, and other criteria: Advanced 
 search</h1>
<p>It is often useful to search on criteria such as the date an object 
 was created or modified, its owner, what type of object it is, its location, 
 and additional criteria. This type of search is called an Advanced search.</p>

<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Folders</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Reports</p></li>

<li class=p><p>HTML documents</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Filters</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Prompts</p></li>
